IF I‘D FOUND THE RIGHT WORDS TO SAY
(LIVE and ACOUSTIC)
SNOW PATROL
NOTE: This was a request for the LIVE and ACOUSTIC version of the song that was done at
SHEPHERD‘S BUSH EMPIRE LONDON on 5-9-2011. This version is ONLY for that performance.
Here is the LINK: https://youtu.be/KZyJ4OJoIH8
Please keep this in mind when playing and rating this tab.
Also note that the acoustics in that place seem to echo and because of that at times
I hear the A chord as an Asus4 and even the E chord at times sounds like an E7. Try
those as well if you feel the need to.
NOTE: ALBUM VERSION is below this tab (see below)
CAPO: 5th FRET
INTRO:
Palm mute then
A A E E G G D D
VERSE:
A
Right about now, if I'd found the right words to say
E
I'd tell you you're safe and take hold of your hand
G
I'll be there by your side for the rest of your life
A
Our bodies could fall off the end of the world
A
Something told me we'd be happy forever
E
I don't see how this could change any of that
G
I will follow your ghost as it falls off the rock-face
A
And lie with you on the grass above
CHORUS:
Em D
And I'd like to change all this
Em D
And I'd like to wake up from this
G G
By your side
VERSE;
A
How did we ever survive for this length of time?
E
Living with only a care for one thing
G
But the light that shines from her
G
Whenever she's happy
D
Is worth every minute that we've saved ourselves
A
Maybe there's hope in just one final second
E
A flash of her love as she waves us goodbye
G
Don't torture yourself with what we might have given
D
We did everything that we could ever do
CHORUS:
Em D
And I'd like to change all this
Em D
And I'd like to wake up from this
G G
By your side
CHORUS:
Em D
And I'd like to change all this
Em D
And I'd like to wake up from this
G G A
By your side
